Chapter Six: The Story of the Sacrificed Son.

قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى : ﴿ وَقَالَ إِنِّي ذَاهِبٌ إِلَى رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ * رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ ، فَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِغُلَامٍ حَلِيمٍ ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ السَّعْيَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنِّي أَرَى فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ فَانْظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَى قَالَ يَا أَبَتِ افْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ . فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُ لِلْجَبِينِ . وَنَادَيْنَاهُ أَنْ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ . قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ الرُّؤْيَا إِنَّا كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ * إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ الْبَلَاءُ الْمُبِينُ وَفَدَيْنَاهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ : وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ * سَلَامٌ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ . كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ * إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ * وَبَشَّرْنَاهُ بِإِسْحَاقَ نَبِيًّا مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ * وَبَارَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى إِسْحَاقَ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِنَفْسِهِ مُبِينٌ

God Almighty said: 'And he said, "Indeed, I am going to my Lord; He will guide me. My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous." So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy. And when he reached with him [the age of] exertion, he said, "O my son, indeed I have seen in a dream that I [must] slaughter you, so see what you think." He said, "O my father, do as you are commanded. You will find me, if God wills, of the steadfast." And when they had both submitted and he put him down upon his forehead, We called to him, "O Abraham, you have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good. Indeed, this was the clear trial. And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice. And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations: "Peace upon Abraham." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good. Indeed, he was of Our believing servants. And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous. And We blessed him and Isaac. And among their descendants is the doer of good and the clearly unjust to himself.'

يَذْكُرُ تَعَالَى عَنْ خَلِيلِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا هَاجَرَ مِنْ بِلَادِ قَوْمِهِ ، سَأَلَ رَبَّهُ أَنْ يَهَبَ لَهُ وَلَدًا صَالِحًا ، فَبَشَّرَهُ اللهُ بِغُلَامٍ حَلِيمٍ ، وَهُوَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ، لِأَنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ وُلِدَ لَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ سِتٍّ وَثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً مِنْ عُمُرِ الْخَلِيلِ

God Almighty mentions regarding His friend Abraham that when he emigrated from the lands of his people, he asked his Lord to grant him a righteous son, so God gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy, who is Ishmael, peace be upon him, because he was the first to be born to him at the age of eighty-six years of the Friend's life.
